RUSH: In Reno, Nevada. Hi, Vickie. Great to have you on the program.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah. What I\u2019m calling about is it has just come to light 50 years after Rachel Carson wrote Silent Spring that she based all of her information, her data, so-called data, on anecdotal information. She completely ignored the available information of the day. She belonged to the Audubon Society, and she ignored their annual bird count, which showed there was no fewer birds in the years prior to her writing her book. And now we\u2019ve based all of our current environmental legislation on the false data that she presented in her book.<\/p>\n
RUSH: This is a real sore spot with me, Rachel Carson. For those of you who don\u2019t know, there is this pesticide called DDT, and it virtually wiped out malaria. But Rachel Carson came along one day and claimed that DDT corrupted the eggs recently laid by birds, it was leading to the death, it was killing birds and other animals. DDT was a pesticide killing animals in nature, and so DDT was pulled. The most effective weapon against malaria ever, and one book by a liberal activist, Rachel Carson, which was fraud in and of itself — and, by the way, Vickie —<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n
RUSH: — Rachel Carson\u2019s fraud has been known long before since last week or last year. But it\u2019s still active. DDT is still not permitted. It\u2019s still subject to all of the denigration that was heaped upon it. Her words are still gospel.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah. And it\u2019s killed millions of citizens on the continent of Africa.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Because they quit using the DDT.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Exactly. Millions of young Africans are dead because of Rachel Carson, who is now herself dead.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n
RUSH: She long ago passed away. But that\u2019s a great example, great example. She\u2019s a good touchy-feely really cares for the animals liberal. And she went out there and she claimed that DDT — it was like, remember the California condor was facing extinction, and they were doing everything they could to save the condor. By the way,, forget the condor for a second. One of my all-time favorite birds is the pelican. I\u2019m fascinated by the things. They are a protected species. You know why? Because it is said that DDT softens the shells of pelican eggs and many of them don\u2019t even hatch.<\/p>\n

\nIt\u2019s all BS. It\u2019s like this BS of lights on the beach and turtles. Folks, there\u2019s so much liberal fraud out there that has resulted in the loss of common sense, day to day freedom. But more, it\u2019s just fraud. It\u2019s a bunch of lies for the purposes of advancing the liberal ideology. And the liberal ideology is expansive governments, waning individual freedom. It\u2019s hideous. Rachel Carson was a faker, pure and simple. I\u2019m glad you called, Vickie. Thanks.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Here\u2019s Paul in Kansas City, Missouri. I\u2019m glad you called, sir. Welcome. Great to have you here.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hey, Rush, you were speaking earlier regarding liberals or progressives, their first priority in their relationships is you must be either a liberal or a progressive.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n
CALLER: And then if you\u2019re a minority or something like that second, that\u2019s fine, but if you\u2019re a gay conservative or a black conservative or minority or an immigrant conservative, you don\u2019t qualify. So it\u2019s very much like, to me, like a jihadist. They are more than welcome for you to believe anything you want to believe as long as you believe what they believe.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I see your point.<\/p>\n
CALLER: You know what I mean? They\u2019re very strict on their belief that you can believe whatever you want, as long as you agree with what —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah, but there\u2019s a fraud in this, too. Let\u2019s look at your example, blacks. Now, if you didn\u2019t know any better, you would expect much below that the Democrat Party and the American left love black people, and they believe that black people are discriminated against, getting the shaft each and every day, and they\u2019re out there working to make sure that every black person in the world is not mistreated. Then a conservative black man gets nominated for the Supreme Court, and all of a sudden he stops being black.<\/p>\n CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n RUSH: All of a sudden he\u2019s an evil, mean-spirited conservative sexual harasser. And the fact that he\u2019s black doesn\u2019t matter. The same thing with the feminazis. They can be all for women doing what they want, except if women don\u2019t want to have abortions, then they become the enemy. So what really is the truth is, the civil rights movement is not about the advancement of blacks. Feminism is not about the advancement of women. It\u2019s about the advancement of the ideology. It\u2019s about the advancement of liberalism, and anybody that doesn\u2019t toe the line, you\u2019re exactly right, is gonna be called out and they\u2019re not just gonna call \u2019em out, in the case of really prominent ones, they\u2019re gonna try to destroy \u2019em.<\/p>\n CALLER: Right. But just like the jihadists — and that\u2019s why I compare it to them, is you can be a Muslim, but if you\u2019re gay, well, that\u2019s not gonna work because you\u2019re not toting their line.<\/p>\n RUSH: Are you saying that there aren\u2019t any gay jihadists?<\/p>\n CALLER: (laughing)<\/p>\n RUSH: How do you know?<\/p>\n CALLER: You don\u2019t know. They never said what kind of virgins they were talking about.<\/p>\n RUSH: Well, I mean — (laughing) We live on these presumptions. Now, look at Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Mahmoud was at Columbia University one day. He came to the United Nations during their September, October annual meeting. I think this was the same year that Hugo Chavez claimed to smell sulfur, i.e., the devil, in the General Assembly after George W. Bush had spoken, to which the General Assembly applauded, by the way. So Mahmoud goes over to Columbia University, invited there to speak, and a student asks him about homosexuality and homosexuals in Iran. And Mahmoud said, “We don\u2019t have any of those,” and the audience starts laughing. And Mahmoud doesn\u2019t quite know what to do. He says, “Well, if you know of any, tell us where they are. Show me where they are. Where do they live? We don\u2019t have that in Iran,” he said.<\/p>\n And of course the students at Columbia are laughing. That wasn\u2019t quite cool. I mean, Mahmoud, this guy expects to instill fear in everybody and they end up laughing at him. Now, some Muslim clerics — and I know people are gonna dispute this — but some Muslim clerics have said that you can be gay as long as you do jihad. Now, the comparison here with jihadis and liberals, I understand it, but the one thing the liberals don\u2019t do is order mass killings and murder. I don\u2019t want to let that stand. I know you\u2019re talking about the mind. I know you\u2019re talking about the requirement that everybody must follow the right path or else they\u2019re gonna be excommunicated or discharged or what have you. I get the point.<\/p>\n Snerdley, I don\u2019t know what it says about the Koran being a living, breathing document. All I know is that some imams have said, some clerics have said that you can be gay as long as you do jihad. Just don\u2019t advertise it, nobody\u2019s gonna have a problem with it, as long as you do jihad. You know, “don\u2019t ask, don\u2019t tell.” It was in the Daily Caller back on August 2nd last year. “Muslim Cleric: Gay Sex Okay in the Service of Jihad.” Just like going to Las Vegas is okay if it\u2019s in the service of jihad. The 911 hijackers went to Vegas, some of them did. You know why? To work up their hatred for our society. They went to the modern focus of evil in this culture, the debauchery of Vegas. They went there to stoke themselves with the proper amount of hatred while frequenting the brothels. So, you know, partaking of the things that are forbidden, in the service of jihad, it\u2019s permitted. Don\u2019t doubt me.<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n RUSH: Let\u2019s go to Patrick in Rockford, Illinois. Great to have you, sir. Hi.<\/p>\n CALLER: Thank you, Rush. 21-year dittos.<\/p>\n RUSH: Appreciate that, sir.

<\/a>CALLER: Charles Wurster, who apparently was in the ground floor of Environmental Defense Fund, when he was told — he was the chief scientist, apparently — was told that banning DDT would probably result in millions of deaths, he replied, “This is as good a way to get of them as any.” And that\u2019s my point for the day.<\/p>\n
